Li Yunrui had already buried the past information, and when he made a report, he was extremely fluent: "The Zhengbai Banner of Jiannu, the Chief of the Great Slave is Huang Taiji, the Chief of the Little Slave is Wuheli, and there are a total of Niulu, and the banners of these two chiefs have all appeared, and they arrived at Nanxinkou with the Zhenglan Banner within two days. By the way, the previous Tangbao of the Dongjiang headquarters also wrote: not counting the Huang Taiji led by each Niu Lu, he also directly governed 200 to 300 white armor soldiers, Nanxinkou Jiannu Zheng Red Flag, only saw the banner of the banner of the small slave chief Borjin Shrimp, and it was estimated that he received about ten Niu Lu. ”

"Twenty-one cattle records of the blue flag, eighteen cattle records of the white flag, and thirty-nine cattle records if all of them come. Zhenghongqi came, about ten Niu Lu, we counted eleven, okay, this is fifty Niu Lu, there are about 5,000 soldiers, including 500 to 600 white armor soldiers, plus Huang Taiji's direct jurisdiction, there will be about 800 white armor soldiers. As for the auxiliaries they carried, they were definitely countless. After Huang Shi finished calculating the numbers, he rubbed his hands nervously, but this gaffe was just a blink of an eye, and he immediately resumed his normalcy and wrote down the calculated numbers.

When Huang Shi raised his head again, he was already calm, and he paused around his subordinates, and He Dingyuan, the most courageous of the surrounding people, also bit his lip nervously and couldn't speak.

"This force is estimated to be not something that my Immortal Island can resist. Huang Shi began to regret why he didn't dig the ice in advance, and most of the men had already been transferred to Nakajima, and now it was very troublesome to transfer them back, and I am afraid it would be too late in time: "After Jiannu arrives in batches, they need time to rest, and they also need time to build siege equipment, so we still have a few days to ......"

"Okay," Huang Shi stood up and laughed, "It seems that we are going to spend this winter in Nakajima, so go and prepare." We'll be back in the spring. ”

"Machine tools and farm tools can be removed, but our watermills, reservoirs, canteens, and so many dwellings ......," Yang Zhiyuan said halfway through his speech, and he couldn't go on with excitement. But everyone understood what he meant.

Thinking of the hard work of the past few years, Huangshi was also very painful in his heart. But he still insisted and said: "If the house is burned, we can build a reservoir and a water wheel, and if the water wheel is destroyed, we can repair it again, but people cannot be resurrected after death." ”

"Fight head-on! Our army has built a shore wall, and now it is also a solid ice wall, and my firefighting battalion is strong and strong, and this Jiannu cannot be compared at all. He Dingyuan suddenly roared angrily. After a long silence, he finally exploded: "And the cannon, didn't Duncan build five cannons?"

"Six doors. Yang Zhiyuan reminded him, Duncan has just sharpened the sixth cannon, thanks to the copper bought back from Japan, and now there are four three-pounder cannons and two six-pounder cannons on Changsheng Island. For a long time, Changsheng Island has always pursued a policy of asking for cannons and not butter, and now with Huangshi as the land, although the officers of Changsheng Island are all poor and white proletarians, their equipment is absolutely first-class. Counting the iron armor worth more than 200,000 taels of silver that was caught for nothing. The fire battalion has about the same armament as the entire town of the Dongjiang Army.

"yes, six doors. He Dingyuan is more confident. He shouted, "We bombard the tower with artillery and then mobilize the men of the whole island to fight, and we will definitely be able to hold it." ”

The shore wall of Changsheng Island was not designed to defend against an attack of this scale, and the old battalion of Nanxinkou could only protect 4,000 people, most of the military households and various property, and there was no parapet. Duncan's original design of the "Iron Wall of the Great Liaohai" was a complex fortress facility, but later the manpower and material resources were appropriated by Yellowstone to build reservoirs and weapons, so the fortress was never completed.

The chance of holding on was indeed there, but if the Houjin army attacked with all its might, the Ming army would have to fight with the enemy outside the wall. Judging from the comparison of troops, the firefighting battalion is close to half of the Houjin army. The equipment is also better than that of the enemy, but since he knew that Huang Taiji was coming, Huang Shi has been beating a small drum in his heart: "The freezing period will take more than ten days to pass, and even if we can hold it, it is estimated that we will die thousands of people." For more than half a year, even if the soldiers have been trained in vain, let's go to Nakajima, it's best for our army to be able to fight with a comparable number of Jiannu every time. ”

He Dingyuan repeatedly stated his feelings, but Huang Shi made up his mind to retreat, Jin Qiude also agreed with Huang Shi's opinion, he and Huang Shi's approach is the same, the so-called tactical essence is to always ensure that the strong bully the weak, with more to fight less. The support of the chief of staff made Huang Shi more firm in his opinion, although Yang Zhi was unwilling, his status made his words have no weight.

"He guerrilla doesn't need to be said anymore, Ben General has decided to withdraw to Nakajima, and Kaichun will come back. As soon as Huang Shi used his authority to suppress He Dingyuan, he saw Wu Mu coming in a hurry, Huang Shi had already sent someone to inform him just now, this kind of military decision must be approved by the prison army.

"I heard that Jiannu is coming to commit a big crime, General Huang quickly tell our family to hear about it......"

As soon as Wu Mu heard that it was the three banner land Jiannu, his face also turned pale, but he had also worked on Changsheng Island for two years, and after learning that there were only fifty Niu Lu, he hesitated again. Zhenglan and Zhengbai are originally small flags, and the sum of the two is not as good as the Zhenghuang flag, not to mention the blue flag, which is a big flag of sixty-one cows. Zhenghong has been hit a lot recently, and he has to control the place, so he can only mobilize Niu Lu from the Fuzhou area to come.

"General Huang, our family doesn't think it's completely impossible to guard, and if this news reaches the palace, it won't be easy for Gonggong Wei to speak for General Huang. "Wu Mu was a little dissatisfied when he heard that he was going to retreat without a fight, how could he be a little slashed in a defensive battle. Dongjiang Town does not have Wenchen to supervise the army, so the credit for strategizing is all his, Wu Mu's, and he also hopes to have one victory after another.

"Gonggong Wu, Ming Jian......" Huang Shi plans to move out again, "Who should I listen to on the roadguard?" Wu Mu's judgment of Huang Shi is still very superstitious, and Huang Shi feels that it is not very difficult to convince him.

Zhao Slowxiong secretly threw his eyes over again, Huang Shi was stunned for a moment, and then changed his words as if nothing happened: "What Gonggong Wu said is that the last general will think about it." He said to his subordinates, who were waiting for orders, "You will go to eat first, and we will discuss it when we have eaten." ”

"How can you go to dinner first when the military situation is urgent?" He Dingyuan muttered dissatisfiedly.

Huang Shi stiffened his face: "I want to think about it again and don't need to say more." ”

Just now, Zhao Slowxiong saw that Huangshi's momentum was like a rainbow, and it might not have any good effect if he thought about it, and it might not have any good effect to cut Huangshi's face, he was worried that Huangshi might die in order to save face. But when the two of them talk in private, it's completely different, and Huang Shi finds an opportunity to secretly ask him what he wants to say.

Zhao Slowxiong said his opinion directly: "The subordinates are worried that this will affect the morale of the army. ”

"Well, isn't it right not to fight uncertain battles? Won't you get back by winning a few more battles in the future?" Huang Shi also faintly felt that it was not good to run away without a fight, but when he thought of the opponent with Huang Taiji, he had little confidence.

"Our army now has the courage to attack, but it still lacks the courage to defend. "In the past, every time the firefighting battalion sent troops, it was a bully to collect, analyze, and organize intelligence in advance, and they were full of confidence from top to bottom, but this time, when faced with the anticipation of the situation in the field, Huangshi needless to say, even other officers were also anxious.

Seeing Huangshi pondering without saying a word, Zhao Slowxiong added: "My Changsheng Island has been digging ice at the beginning, and it has been as safe as Mount Tai for several years, this time Jiannu is here, we can withdraw, but my subordinates are worried that this will promote the idea of 'partial peace', from top to bottom, we will go, and if we find a flaw, we will steal it, and if we can't find a chance, forget it." My subordinates think it's not good. ”

At this time, Huang Shi suddenly remembered that when the land was divided, Zhao Slowbear took the initiative to go to Nakajima to paint the land, he stared at Zhao Slowbear and asked about it.

Zhao Slowxiong, who had a clean face, replied: "That's what my subordinates thought back then, that's why I have this concern, please be clear." He paused for a moment and continued: "When the lord asks his subordinates to lead the army, his subordinates will go and get a good deal if they want to be cheap, even if it is not cheap. As a result, he let Jiannu build a fortress. The subordinates learned from the pain and thought that this kind of partial thinking was unacceptable. And we are located on an island that is most prone to biased thoughts. ”

The fifteenth day of the first month of the fifth year of the Apocalypse.

The women and most of the men were moved to Nakajima, but the fighting troops of the fire battalion remained in the old camp on Changsheng Island, and in addition to this, 2,000 auxiliaries were left. Huangshi was determined to defend the old camp to the death, and if the Houjin army besieged it, the island's facilities would have to be demolished by them. Anyway, Yellowstone doesn't plan to kill a large number of people for the sake of renewable buildings.

The banner of the Houjin army had already covered the other side of Nanxinkou, but the Houjin scouts had not crossed the ice to the shore once. The old camp on Everlife Island would close the front door most of the time, and the auxiliary soldiers in the camp were busy sorting out the defenses, the pikemen were polishing their weapons, and the musketeers were constantly producing projectiles, and everyone had a big pocket and was still making.

After the military discussion decided to hold on, the soldiers were full of tense atmosphere of battle, and now they can't do it, and the enemy army is on the other side of the river, and it is stupid to waste their own body at this time. But as time went by, the officers and men gradually eased their mood, and frolicking scenes gradually appeared in the old camp.

Even Huangshi himself is not so nervous, today he looked at the Houjin position from afar for a long time, and the smoke from the cooking on the other side of Nanxinkou seemed to be about to open a meal.

"There are still more than 10,000 Jiannu opposite the general, right?" Duncan behind Yellowstone suddenly spoke like a ghost.

"Well, yes, there don't seem to be reinforcements today. The layers of camp tents and dense flags made it impossible to see the deployment on the opposite side, and Huang Shi muttered: "Twelve thousand to fifteen thousand, the scout cavalry can't get close, and you can't get the exact number." ”

"The last general is willing to lead 200 elite soldiers to steal the camp tonight, and the adults can see the reality of Jiannu. He Dingyuan, who accompanied Huangshi to watch the enemy, also opened his mouth, since the Jin army set up camp around three days, He Dingyuan has always wanted to steal the camp. The so-called best reconnaissance is to attack, and an attack with enough power can allow the commander to fully understand the strength of the opponent: "My lord, I am foolproof on the last general." ”

Huang Shi absentmindedly said perfunctorily: "There is a saying in the art of war: since ancient times, the camp has won nine victories and one defeat. He guerrilla bravely crowned the whole army, of course, I will not be at ease. ”

The so-called stealing camp certainly does not refer to the camp that has been in operation for a long time, the strong fortress of the old camp on Changsheng Island, there is nothing to steal, and hundreds of people come at night not to steal the camp, but to send them to death. But the Houjin army on the opposite side was a troop from afar, and their field camps were very rough, and there were no continuous parapets between them, and this kind of camp could not only be stolen, but also relatively easy to steal.

Most of the fire battalions on Changsheng Island have lived here for a few years, and they are very familiar with the surrounding geography, and there are so many camps on the opposite side, and there are always great hopes of finding weak links. Once the outbreak broke out, it was difficult for the other side to be blind in the dark, and the number and movement of the army could not be clear, and the more common reaction should be that each battalion would hold on to it separately so as not to be fished by the other side in troubled waters. Therefore, there is a cloud in the art of war: since ancient times, there have been nine wins and one defeat in stealing camps.

When carrying out this kind of camp stealing operation, the defending commander can observe the enemy's reflexes, the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and the suzhì. You can also find opportunities to deal a heavier blow to your opponent.

But Huang Shi didn't think that he had any chance to deal a heavy blow to Huang Taiji, and he didn't think that he didn't know that the morale of the other side and the soldiers of Su Zhan and Changsheng Island were very precious, and Huang Shi was really reluctant to carry out this kind of fire reconnaissance. Now Huangshi has the idea of "no fault is merit", and waits for the Houjin army to attack the city in pursuit of a better exchange ratio.

So......

He Dingyuan's plan to steal the camp was rejected as several times in the past, and Huangshi was also strictly forbidden to fire artillery. The cannon was carefully hidden by him, and when it came to the critical moment, he gave the opposite side a good look.

The sit-down battle lasted for another three days, and by the early morning of the 19th day of the first lunar month, the Houjin army on the other side of Nanxinkou still did not make any unusual moves, but only built more siege weapons. In the past few days, a large number of enemy troops have been blatantly cutting down trees every day, and more and more ladder towers and watchtowers have been planted, and a large number of equipment has also been gathered on the shore, and there is no end in sight.

This posture is already obvious. The Houjin army has been accumulating strength, and it is obviously not the idea of setting fire and leaving without dividing troops to sabotage in the interior of Changsheng Island. Having said that, it is really unreasonable to send such a large-scale force to engage in sabotage and leave, and it is easy for the Ming army to catch loopholes by dividing troops to sabotage.

However, after accumulating the strength for so long, the attack can be imagined to be a thunderous blow, and when the officers discussed with the officers, Huang Shi felt irritated for a while.

"There are not a few days, the freeze period will soon pass, and it is impossible for Jiannu not to know this. ”

"Adults don't have to worry. Our army has five hundred guns and six cannons, can't we hold it for a few days?" Jin Qiude's words were full of confidence, and this sentiment infected Huangshi, and he guessed that Huang Taiji might not know that he had cannons. I think there is every chance to go down to the old camp of Changsheng Island in one go.

Kazuo Kuroshima's ocean-going fleet also stayed near Changsheng Island, and without trade with Japan, there would be no new copper bars, and there would be no more cannons, and all fishing boats and grain ships would also stop working, and they would be incorporated into the water camp of Changsheng Island.

"Governor Li, are you sure that Jiannu didn't build a ship?" Huang Shi asked Li Yunrui again sternly.

Li Yunrui felt that his professional qualities had been insulted, and these days he had to ask him every once every three or five days when he came to Huangshi: "Your Excellency, rest assured, I have closely monitored the nearby coast, and there is no sign of shipbuilding on the other side of Nanxinkou, and there are tens of thousands of construction slaves on the other side of Nanxinkou, even if you rush to work, you can't get out of so many ships." ”

The morning passed with nothing to do. In the afternoon, just after lunch, Huang Shi and a room of local officers were alarmed by an urgent report, and Hong Antong hurriedly took a Golden State soldier, who had just been brought to the old camp by the sentry on the island.

The Golden State Clippers who came to Changsheng Island to report the news came in a hurry, and Jinzhou did not have a guide to Changsheng Island, so they couldn't find a moored stone in the ice sea, so they found a random place on the south shore of Changsheng Island.6 Because Changsheng Island is now under martial law on the whole island, most of the population has been transported to the middle island, so these soldiers can't find anyone after they go ashore, and they scattered to find them separately as soon as they total.

Now the soldier who was brought in by Hong Antong from Jinzhou got off the boat on the south shore of Changsheng Island and ran all the way to the sea, and the hard work all the way seemed to have no effect on him, although there were few patrol soldiers deployed on the island in the fire battalion, but he finally bumped into one.

These three patrolmen are all auxiliaries who stay on the island for simple work, and because they patrol the island, they don't have horses. When he met them, this Golden State soldier was already so tired that he was about to lose his strength, but after seeing the people of Changsheng Island, he immediately forgot about the hard work of the sea and the 6th after boarding.

The messenger immediately caught the leading Changsheng Island soldier, and was so excited that he almost strangled the man to death on the spot, and then followed them all the way to Hong'an, and Tongcai led him into Huangshi's camp, and the already exhausted soldier screamed, and a fierce man threw himself at Huangshi's feet, grabbed the ground with his head, and hissed at the same time: "Lord Huang, save Nanguan!"

The officers in the camp stood up one after another, and one by one they all showed surprised looks, and Huang Shi didn't care about his identity, and rushed forward to help the messenger. His face was covered with sweat and stains, his body was completely paralyzed, and when Huang Shi pulled his arm, the soldier suddenly came to life again, hugged Huang Shi's right leg, and shouted: "Lord Huang, go and save Nanguan, save Nanguan." ”

"What's wrong with Nanguan?"

"Nanguan is surrounded, there are 8,000 soldiers there," hugged Huangshi's thigh, and the messenger howled and cried: "Lord Huang, save Nanguan!"

"Slowly, what the hell is going on?" Yellowstone shook the messenger a few times, but his tone was hurried and messy, repeating a few words over and over again. I couldn't understand what he was saying.

At this time, Hong Antong brought another messenger, he also came by boat together, but a little later than the first person, he met several other auxiliaries who were cutting trees, and after this person rushed into the door, he also flew straight to the foot of Huangshi: "Lord Huang, save Nanguan, save our Lushun army......"
